If you have overdue library books or media, you can pay off your fines with canned goods.The Bartholomew County Public Library is conducting a “Food for Fines” campaign from Dec. 4th to 17th.

During this time, the library says that you can pay overdue fines by donating non-perishable food items that will go to Love Chapel and the Community Center of Hope Food Pantry.

For every dollar owed in fines, at least one food item must be donated. They cannot be in glass containers, home-canned, expired, rusty, dented or damaged or have bar codes that have been lined or scratched through.
